I have ready many of these blogs. Some get income, but manly from advertisers, and they will only advertise on your blog if you have much traffic. They try to say that you will be your own boss. Definitely not true. I write railroad articles, and I visit many railroad sites. I have no control over when they open or when they run their trains. I also do not control who reads my articles. So, can you truly say that they are full of crap? Yes you can. Unless you are a very big name person and can get into some of these sites for free, they are paying through the nose, and probably in huge debt.

Funny shit. I wrote a blog a couple of months ago about the joy of (not) traveling and a couple of my friends (who travel constantly, even when they don’t want to) went ape-shit a bit. What’s the ol’ line from that Drummonds show, “What might be right for you, may not be right for some!”

I wouldn’t want to travel all the time. Fuck that. Give me home base. Diff’rent strokes for diff’rent folks.

Finally retired. Limited income. Very limited. And it’s not ever going up, unless I get better at picking winners at the Greyhound track. Working on that. You can rent or buy at reasonable prices in some parts of Florida, especially on the Gulf coast. I live cheaply, simply, and relatively happily. can’t afford to travel don’t give a damn.

Ah there was a time when I loved the excitement of weird food, having to pay to use a bathroom, and always fearing the presence of bedbugs, all while not speaking the local language. Yeah, I was 20. And naive. Seemed exciting at the time. Now, exciting is putting the kids to bed early so I can binge watch documentaries on Netflix and eat all-dressed Ruffles in my king size bed till I pass out (usually around 9 pm). Omg I’m getting excited just typing that.

Funny post. I am one who loves to travel and explore but it can be exhausting for sure. I definitely don’t believe everyone can be a travel writer and it’s that easy; there are some who are successful though.
